(Verse 1) 

         A5     D5           A5       D5
 Let the river rock you like a cradle

 A5            D5                      A5       D5
 Climb to the treetops, child, if you're able

          A5            D5          A5       D5
 Let your hands tie a knot across the table.

 A5        F#5                     B5         D5
 Come and touch the things you cannot feel.

    A5          D5          A5                 D5 
 And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold you

A5        D5             A5                   D5 
 Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold you

A5          D5           A5            D5                A5
 And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you,

    F#5                B5                   D5
 If all the things you feel ain't what they seem.

 A5           D5     A5              D5         A5      D5   A5   D5
 And don't   mind me   'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.




(Verse 2) 

     A5            D5                A5        D5                
 The mocking bird sings each different song

      A5        D5                   A5       D5
 Each song has wings - they won't stay long.

 A5            D5           A5             D5 
 Do those who hear think he's doing wrong?

 A5                     D5              A5        D5
 While the church bell tolls its one-note song

    A5                   D5           A5        D5
 And the school bell is tinkling to the throng.

 A5         F#5                    B5       D5 
 Come here where your ears cannot hear.

     A5          D5            A5                   D5
 And close your eyes, child, and listen to what I'll tell you

A5       D5          A5                           D5
 Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel you

A5                  D5            A5                   D5        A5
 And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to quell you

      F#5                   B5              D5
 If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem ,

      A5      D5      A5              D5      A5        D5   A5   D5
 Then don't   mind me   'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream




(Verse 3) 

A5           D5               A5        D5
 The rising smell of fresh-cut grass

    A5             D5               A5            D5 
 Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas

   A5         D5         A5       D5
 I hold some grapes up to the sun

     A5             D5          A5        D5 
 And their flavour breaks upon my tongue.

     A5     D5       A5                    D5
 With ea---ger tongues we taste our strife

  A5           D5      A5             D5 
 And fill our lungs with seas of life.

 A5              F#5              B5           D5
 Come taste and smell the waters of our time.

    A5          D5           A5              D5       A5
 And close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you,

          D5          A5                       D5       A5
 Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress you.

      D5                  A5                       D5       A5
 As I walk on through the garden, I am hoping I don't miss you

       F#5                         B5              D5
 If all the things you taste ain't what they seem ,

 A5          D5      A5             D5     A5           D5   A5   D5
 Then don't mind me   'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.




(Verse 4)

      D5            A5        D5     A5
The sun and moon both arise

          D5                 A5                D5
And we'll see them soon through days and nights

    A5                 D5                A5        D5
But now silver leaves are mirrors, bring delights.

        A5               D5          A5         D5
And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright,

      A5            D5             A5                D5         
While darkness blinds the skies with all its light.

A5           F#5             B5        D5
Come see where your eyes cannot see.

    A5          D5            A5                 D5        A5
And close your eyes, child, and look at what I'll show you;

         D5               A5                     D5      A5
Let your mind go reeling out   and let the breezes blow you,

          D5             A5                 D5       A5
And maybe when we meet then   suddenly I will know you.

     F#5                    B5                  D5 
If all   the things you see ain't what they seem ,

     A5       D5      A5              D5   A5             D5 
Then   don't mind me    'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.
